The young female general chuckled and said:

"Elder Qian, I think it doesn't matter who he is, as long as he can provide us with Yunqi bombs."

The grumpy, burly man snorted:

"Thirty million taels is too much. Last year's war situation was unfavorable, and our military expenditure of hundreds of thousands of border troops in the north was only about 70 million taels for a year."

The scar-faced man chuckled:

"This expense is indeed a bit too high. I have to ask the sects in the south for more benefits. Our northern sects will withstand the pressure for them. When the Tianyuan Competition next year, we will have to ask the sects in the south of the Yangtze River to redistribute resources.

Those old immortals want more benefits."

After the words fell, there was a deep laughter.

The sect is a large collective, and there are rules within it that belong to them.

If the sects on the border put in people and efforts, supplies will come from the rich areas.

The saint's counterattack before his death was resisted by their northern sect. They naturally had reasons and righteousness to seek benefits from other sects in the Tianyuan Competition.

The conversation started, and some generals who were good friends with each other began to talk and laugh and plan for the coming year.

But when some people are talking and laughing, naturally some people are silent, and there are not a few silent people.

The atmosphere in the tent was quickly interrupted by a gentle voice:

"Now that halftime is not even here, are you ready to start celebrating?"

The person who spoke was none other than the handsome young man from the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines. However, he could not overshadow the guest and take over the host. He looked at the silent old man on the main seat:

"Elder Qian, you should have something to say, right?"

"."

Upon hearing this, Qian Shuisheng slowly raised his eyes and exhaled:

"Everyone, the people behind Mr. Zhou may have provided us with Yunqi bombs for personal gain, but they also want to watch us fight to the death with the barbarians. Once the clouds are dispelled, do you think the barbarian alien king will

How do you react?"

The grumpy, burly man cupped his hands with an excited smile on his lips:

"Elder Qian, the snow clouds have been dispersed, and those barbarians have lost the protection of heaven and earth, and will inevitably avoid our army's attack. We can just attack Beifeng City directly and hold on."

"What if they don't avoid it?"

Qian Shuisheng asked back, and then said: "The Barbarian King is not a fool. Once Beifeng is recaptured by us, they will become turtles in the urn."

Speaking of which,

Qian Shuisheng sighed: "The Yunqi bomb has directly changed the entire battle situation. Now the barbarian army near Beifeng is roughly estimated to be more than 400,000. If we fight a tough battle with them, even if we win, we will suffer great losses."

, then the court will be able to reap the benefits."

The young female general frowned slightly, and there was a bit of anger between her eyebrows:

"So now we are dragging it on like this? If we had chosen to reinforce Beifeng, we would never have had this kind of thing happen now."

The middle-aged woman in armor glanced at the young female general and sneered:

"Little girl, we all made the decision together at the beginning. Why, now we are in a dilemma and you want to get yourself out in a hurry?"

Hearing this, the scarred man chuckled and said:

"Mrs. Wang, the original decision was indeed made by us together, but I remember it should be you and your husband."

"Okay! Just say a few words."

Qian Shuisheng saw that the atmosphere below was beginning to become tense, and he immediately shouted: "What we need in the current situation is to communicate to the outside world in unison! Everyone tell us their countermeasures."

"."

Silence began to spread and no one answered.

Quietly,

Suddenly someone suddenly said:

"Can we think of another way to lure the barbarians north?"

Another person directly criticized:

"How to lead? The barbarians know that there are celestial weapons such as Yunqi bombs in Houting County, and they attack the well-equipped defense circle of Houting County on a sunny day? Ha. As long as the barbarian king is not as wet as your brain, he will

You know we can attack better."

The person who made the noise showed murderous intent in his eyes:

"Dai Xiangfei, you have the nerve to tell me that one-third of the supplies will be given to you at will. I really don't know."

"Shut up!"

Qian Shuisheng whispered again, with helplessness in his eyes.

He had actually expected this situation.

Given the current situation, it is only a matter of time before internal conflicts within the coalition forces break out. Mr. Zhou, who came with the Yunqi bombs, only detonated this conflict in advance.

When the wind goes down, we are all brothers; when the wind goes against us, we are all mother-hunters.

The shortcomings of the chaotic command system of the coalition forces are gradually revealed at this moment.

Rubbing his eyebrows vigorously, Qian Shuisheng scanned the generals and said:

"It's useless to talk more. There are only two ways in front of us now. First, we continue to hold on and wait and see what happens. Second, we use Yunqi bombs to invade Beifeng City."

"Wouldn't both paths end up having a fight with those barbarians?"

"Yes."

Qian Shuisheng's tone remained unchanged and he said in a deep voice: "We cannot avoid this at all in today's situation."

Several mistakes in decision-making directly led to the current situation being a dead end for them.

They were designed to abandon Houting County and come to reinforce Beifeng. Later, because of their decision-making, they misjudged the ambition of the Barbarian King and the speed of Wuchenghou and Zong Qingsheng's march south. They were directly stuck outside Beifeng City, surrounded by the barbarian army.

Waiting by your side.

If they want to break the situation, they must fight a tough battle.

After pondering for a moment, the scar-faced man asked:

"Elder Qian, I wonder which path you prefer?"

Qian Shuisheng glanced at him and tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the main seat:

"The latter."

"The latter?" The scarred man frowned, thinking in his eyes, but he soon realized that this was the best choice now.

Qian Shuisheng whispered:

"Our army is behind bars, but the barbarians are more anxious than us. The longer they wait, the greater the chance that the imperial army will move south. By then, our camp without formations will not be able to play any protective role.

"We use Yunqi bombs to open the way and retake Beifeng City as quickly as possible. Then the barbarians may retreat in the face of difficulties and return to the depths of the north along the mountain road they came from.

"This is our way of playing with the least loss now.

"Of course, we still need to plan the details of the march in detail."

Zhou Chen left, taking a few Xumijie and two second-grade Yuanchu with him and quietly left the sect camp through the wind and snow.

And when they left,

A pair of eyes shining with blue light were quietly standing on the hillside in the distance watching them.
